Thai Tom Review

This might be the cheapest Thai restaurant in town, but rock-bottom prices aren't the only reason this place is always packed—the food is delicious, authentic, and spicy (two stars is usually pretty hot). But be forewarned: the is a hole-in-the-wall if there ever was one. Nevertheless, students and foodies pack in for garlic chicken, spicy curries, Thai coconut soup with shrimp, and rich, flavorful pad Thai. Tables can be hard to come by during the dinner rush, but there's usually space at the counter that lines the open kitchen.

    My husband and I tried this place because of all the almost empty restaurants on University avenue one day this little hole in the wall had a line outside. The smoke from the grill was rolling out the open front door and the aroma was fantastic. We just had to find out what this was all about. The food was all cooked on an open grill in the center of the restaurant, upbeat music and excellent service, cashual and fun. Our favorite is the spinach salad with peanut dressing and cashew chicken, we share, get full and the bills less that $15.
